Get here early as it fills up FAST! Great food and service. Highly recommend Hashbrown rancheros. Gluten free bread is house made and tasty!

The chips, salsa, guac, and queso were AMAZING. Gluten free *real* queso is such a treat. The manager was super helpful and knowledgeable about what was gluten free. I ordered a salad with grilled chicken and he quickly mentioned that the grilled chicken is grilled next to the steak that has gluten-full soy sauce so they could sub for shredded chicken. Ordering here was so nice and easy. The salad was just okay, but definitely come for the apps and drinks!

Amazing! Everything on the menu is gluten-free!!! We got tacos and a chicken bowl - DELICIOUS! I was so bummed to learn they were closed on Tuesdays because I wanted to order it one more time on our way out of town. I will be back!

Saw so many positive reviews stating this was celiac-safe, good for those with gluten issues, and delicious---but when we went, the very first thing was saw was someone patting down flour tortillas on the line preparing someone else's food, and they went straight in with the same gloved hands into the cheese and other ingredients, contaminating everything (tho it was surely already well-compromised before we saw it). We had no choice but to drop out of line waiting to order and find another place to eat. A real shame--we were so ready to have something delicious and safely gluten-free after an hours-long drive in all the bad winter weather with this place in mind for dinner. :(

Christopher Gernon

The best food I’ve eaten in Minneapolis! And the whole menu was gluten free! The birria tacos were rich and delicious.

Crystal Simmons

Great food! Caters to gluten and dairy free. I got carnitas en adobo, and chips and salsa. Patrons order online, either at the restaurant entrance or at a table.

MARTI JONES

Terrible food, worse than mediocre Mexican! Sever was great and helped me with gluten free food. Margarita was good. I do not recommend eating here.

Paul Fossum

Gluten-free pizza on cauliflower crust, Zorbaz Zuper, very good!

Leta Miller

Delicious food and also so careful with gluten free! I have celiac and I’ve been so impressed with how this establishment takes care of their GF customers.

La Tapatia 5 stars because the food really showed out! Authentic, flavorful Mexican food, definitely some of the best in Minnesota and felt like it was a hidden gem for sure. We came on a Saturday, at about 4/4:30, before the dinner rush, purposefully. Service: We were warmly greeted after entering their somewhat long hallway. Our server was helpful with the menu when we asked but never smiled. They weren’t busy at this time and I felt like they were attentive. Food: this is where they shine! We loved everything we ordered. We started with Queso Blanco, Guacamole and freshly made chips. Everything was good, particularly the chips. For our main course we ordered tacos and Burrito. The Tacos we ordered (which were all corn) included the Al Pastor (4/5) street style, Chorizo (5/5) Tejano style, Pescado (fried fish- 4/5), Camarones (grilled shrimp 5/5) Tejano style, Burrito was vegetarian (5/5). We also ordeeed a large rice, which was the best Mexican rice we have ever had. We loved all the salsas and tried each of them. The hot was hot but totally still enjoyable. The Salsa verde and Salsa Aguacate (w/avocado) were are favorites and both milder. The only drink menu we were given has beers on it (which neither of us usually do) but we shared a raspberry beer, it was nice. Unfortunately we were too full to try desserts but they looked delicious and I heard they are. Food portions are not large, so you definitely won’t feel like you’re overeating. They have gluten-free options, and vegetarian options so you can find something for almost everyone. Atmosphere: It was warmly decorated with high ceilings. It’s not a large place but I’m sure would accommodate a lot more if it were summer and the patio area was open for sure. It wasn’t loud but then again, we came before a rush. The seating is not the most comfortable, as it’s high tops or diner tables with metal chairs (high top chairs have no backs). It felt like a family/kid friendly area and lots to look at. You go for the food and you will be pleasantly surprised. I definitely recommend and we plan to come back!

Visiting St. Anthony Main is like traveling to some quaint European village. We sat on the patio of Jefe to celebrate our anniversary. Great place to people watch and get a view of downtown Minneapolis. The food was delicious, of course, but the star of the meal was the dessert. I always appreciate a restaurant that offers gluten-free or friendly options other than swapping out bread on a sandwich. We each had an entree and shared the dessert - that was enough for me. Although, we had to take a secondary stop for my husband as he was still hungry.

Chris Brussow

Came here twice in a row for lunch. Saucy tots tacos are righteous! Falafel was pretty darn good. Bean taco was even tasty. The place is a bit gritty, but I could have cared less after biting into those tasty tacos! Tots tacos and falafel are marked as Not Gluten free on the menu, however, if you're not bothered by shared oil for frying, they are, for sensitivity only, gluten free enough for me! I'm definitely stealing the idea for tots tacos at home!

Logan McDougal

Have to come here every year. No nachos this time, and recommend the crispy gluten-free crust

Heather Eiynk

Love this place if you are in the mood for Mexican. I am also gluten free and I love that you can get corn tortillas not just flour burritos and soft shell tacos. So it is nice to have options with dietary restrictions. The staff was very pleasant and helpful and very quick service. Definitely a place that I will recommend and go back too.

joy fetchenhier

Amazing. If you are gluten free it's also a great pick. I've had lunch and breakfast. Both are top notch.

Aaron Copes

Amazing food. Almost everything is gluten free

Megan K

I'm gluten and dairy free and a foodie. I always order a bowl with chicken. Compared to Chipotle I love that they use a different rice and lettuce. They seem to use less seasoning than Chipotle which works well because they did an amazing job curating higher quality ingredients that make the food taste lighter and fresher than Chipotle. I love Chipotle but frankly Bluestone just hits. I really hope Bluestone franchises.

Christine Winans

Great food knowledge staff. I'm highly Sensitive to gluten and no reaction at all.

Leanne Overlander

It is the only fast food that I can go to and not worry about gluten cross contamination. Their staff is knowledgeable on gluten. I love that they try to have organic, local and non GMO foods.

Peter Angelos

Fresh ingredients and tasty food. Huge bonus is careful, well-designated gluten-free menu items with staff knowledgeable about Celiac cross-contact concerns.

Bryce Byron

Great gluten free options for celiac disease folks like me. Staff were very careful and offered to put on clean gloves to prepare my food. Eating out can be stressful but this was easy!

Kim Campbell

Make gluten free

Payton Rogowski

Quick service Overpriced and overrated for the quality of the food- the gluten free Greek pizza wasn't too bad. The crust is thinner which is nice if you like crisp thin crust.

Michelle Greuel

It's amazing & gluten free!

Mariet parke

We have gone to Chipotle in five different states and several cities, we make our own bowl because we are Vegan, gluten and dairy free. kayleeizagfcfkid

Jaclyn Daly

Fantastic tacos. 🌮 it was easy to find gluten and dairy free choices for me. Fresh, hot, delicious, and friendly helpful service. 5 stars for sure.

Brianna Enoksen

My husband and I enjoy eating here. My husband is Celiac (gluten free) and the staff seem knowledgeable about how to prepare the food safely for him. The food is always delicious and the service is wonderful. The prices are very reasonable. When you get take-out, they even include chips and salsa. Over the last 5 years, I do not recall having a negative experience at this restaurant.

Kelly Huper

Excellent food and service!! Knowledgeable on glutenfree options. I highly recommend eating here. Courteous and fast.

Ammie Albers

This is a family favorite of ours each summer, though I am rarely there during the week with my kids. My teen daughter wanted a basic taco salad, but with onions and jalapeños added, and they did not disappoint. Overall, with drinking water and using the kid and lunch menu, we were around $30 for the 3 of us, which was fantastic! PS, their Naked Burrito Bowl is fantastic for this gluten-free mama.

Barb Barnes

I have to be gluten free due to Celiac. This place is run by Mexicans who really know how to cook. I think they pretty much understand gluten free and when they don't, they'll ask a co worker. I've eaten there twice with no illness afterward. I LOVE THEIR FOOD! I give them 5 stars and more! Excellent food, service and pretty good knowledge.

Rachel H

I will say, sometimes the line moves sooo slow and you can spend 20-30 minutes to get through a 10-15 person line….however, this is one of the only restaurants I feel comfortable eating at with a gluten intolerance. Everyone at this location is trained and super understanding about gluten issues and do their best to make my food safely. There have been some new employees over the last few months and sometimes they seem a little nervous when I come in, but they are always open and willing to let me walk them through what I need! I truly appreciate everyone’s efforts to accommodate me.

Leanne Overlander

Only fast food place I trust to be gluten free-burrito bowl

Alysia Thomas

Yummy food. Almost everything is gluten free except the tortillas. The workers changed their gloves and we're careful not to contaminate our food. I was thrilled that they have horchata (cinnamon rice milk drink) which is hard to find in the midwest. I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area again.

Jill Johnson

Love how well the staff works with me and my celiacs to make sure i don't get sick when eating my tacos

verner689

I am gluten free and vegan due to allergies. They went through everything and helped me find something to eat. I greatly appreciated this.

Jane Lagerquist

Lots of gluten free options. 3-6pm happy hour. This was very good, booth seating. Parking on the side lot.

Jaden Dalton

I have celiac and have eaten here safely 3 times now! Very happy to find this place, best yuca fries and green sauce I’ve had so far!!!!

J James

We chose Macanda to celebrate my birthday and was able to get a reservation for our family of 5 at a reasonable time. It also happened to be Restaurant Week so I chose my meal from their exclusive menu. It was nice having more selections that were gluten-friendly. As well as food that our twin 3 year olds and 6 year old would eat. The restaurant did get busy but we ordered pretty quick knowing we had borrowed time with the kids. The server was busy with other tables but we didn't mind. After we ordered we were pretty focused on our family and entertaining the kids. The atmosphere was lively and great for dates to meeting up with friends or business gatherings. Versatile space and beautiful view of Lake Minnetonka.

Terri Diers

Authentic Mexican, great service. The mango, avocado salad with chicken is perfect option for a gluten free and paleo meal. Very tasty and healthy!

Craig Trottier

Love Charlie's and love their gluten free cauliflower crust pizza! The crust was amazing.... so happy to have this local option. You will not be disappointed!

Chelsea Raby

My family and I were visiting town and we were looking for someone to get food for lunch as my daughter and are are both celiac. When I looked at the menu online I was very please to see almost all their menu items were gluten-free. Unfortunately even though the food tasted amazing, it left my daughter and I both very sick. I even stated when ordering the food that there was a gluten allergy. It wasn't a great end to our trip.

Samantha OBannon

They're always so on it with being careful about how they handle my food with having celiacs disease. I appreciate the workers at this location! I haven't gotten sick here, but I have at another location

Jack Kuchenmeister

Fantastic service, extremely quick turn around from ordering to getting our food, and a delicious meal. I will be coming back! The mexican street tacos could be made gluten free, so thats always a plus!

Arianna Wills

Chipotle guacamole is one of my favorites, totally worth the extra price. Great gluten free option in their bowl and chips. (Disclaimer: Gluten free is used very loosely as it is still a gluten filled environment with a high potential for cross contamination.)

Lisa Farwell

Hands down BEST happy hour in Minneapolis!! Awesome selection of quality food and delicious drinks for very low prices. I like the nachos with brisket or chicken, queso dip with chorizo & sangria. Gluten free is easy to accommodate here too.

Mary Grunewald

Friendly, gluten free food a must, hot, clean

Darwin Barnes

Fantastic food, tried several different items and all were great! Staff were friendly and helpful, my wife has Celiac so no gluten. Worked it all out and everyone ate well. My son was greatly impressed with the frozen strawberry/mango Margherita he had. And having had a taste of it I had to agree. Costs were very normal for today, much better than Chevy's in the cities. Relaxed casual atmosphere, great food, attentive and friendly staff. You can't miss here!

Sarah Griggs

Amazing tacos. Delicious gluten free options. Not cheap.
